Melton Kais is a fine local painter and professor of art who provides painting classes twice a week. He can also craft a curriculum for you for more intensive work, and you can even stay at the nicely-appointed Wesberly House above his gallery and studio. This is a great way to “get away” in Kuching, and have a wonderful art experience as well.
